During my time in the program, I have also learned about new subject areas, such as financing, budgeting and public speaking, which will really help me in my future career.

What is your favorite part of the program? My favorite part of the program is the workshops because most of them tie into my future career of being a sports broadcaster for ESPN. The public-speaking trainings assist me in knowing how to speak properly and provide the skills needed to be a great public speaker.
